book­let – Aids for print­ing sim­ple book­lets

Pages of a doc­u­ment pro­cessed with the book­let pack­age will be
re­ordered and scaled so that they can be printed as four pages
per phys­i­cal sheet of pa­per, two pages per side. The re­sult­ing
sheets will, when folded in half, as­sem­ble into a book­let.

In­struc­tions on pro­duc­ing the man­ual it­self as a book­let are in­cluded.
